The Silver Weyr

The bowl of the Weyr. However, the bowl doesn't look much like any of the others: it isn't even that round, and sprawls over a vast area. It is extremely green and lush, and is very spacious. The edges are formed by rocky mountains, which shelter two of the sides and frame a third. At the bottom of the bowl is an open trail, well-kept and clear of obstacles.

The large lake in the center of the bowl. No one has ever reached the bottom before, but at the edges it gradually slopes into deeper water, making an ideal bathing area for dragons. The bottom is mostly sandy, and it is surrounded on three sides by sand; one, however, has a rocky outcropping over it.

The caves and tunnels under the main Weyr, home to all of the weyrfolk who are not dragonriders, wherhandlers, or candidates. They also contain the infirmary, storage rooms, and many unused caverns below ground level.

These two large caverns make up the kitchen and the dining hall. The latter is more expansive, and filled with tables. It is also large enough to accommodate a few dragons at a time. When it is not a formal occasion, many people stop in the kitchen, which has a few tables, in order to eat.

The personal weyrs of the dragonriders, from the fighters' weyrs near the bottom of the cliff, to the queenweyrs at the top. Every weyr is unique but all share a couch for the dragons and small rooms for the riders.

A large stone building located near the hatching sands, so that the candidates don't have to run too far when Hatching time comes. It is constructed of approximately thirty rooms, each with space for two candidates. The wher candidates' quarters are located near the back, but they can occasionally share quarters with dragon candidates.

A large stone building, constructed in similar fashion to the candidate barracks but with a hundred rooms, each large enough for one or two weyrlingpairs to live in. It stands near the stream, providing an easy path to the lake.

Located next to the wherhandlers' barracks at the west side of the Weyr, the wherling barracks are a long, low building, extending back to connect with a natural cave in the side of the bowl. This is where most of the training takes place, but sometimes it happens outside the barracks as well. There are no windows in this building.

Another long, low building, much like the wherling barracks but larger. Some of the rooms are actually built underground, and there are no windows here either. It has no front doors, just an open doorway that leads out into the bowl.

The huge cavern that makes up the center of the main cliff of the Weyr. It is large enough for four queens to clutch on it at once, which means plenty of room for smaller dragons to line up along the walls for Hatchings. There are also smaller caves lining the edges for whers to clutch in.

Holds of the Southern Continent. Southern Hold is the largest and most developed, located next to the Southern Weyr. Mountain Hold is located just north of the Western Barrier Range, and is close to the Silver Weyr.

All of the Southern Continent. This is the greenest of Pern's three continents, being protected from Thread by both dragons and grubs. Its weather is very warm and tropical, and plenty of foodstuffs grow here.
